Arab League scribe hails western countries’ travel ban on Israeli ministers
Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit on Wednesday hailed the travel ban imposed on two Israeli ministers by five western countries.
Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich have been put on a travel ban by five western countries’ foreign ministers in a statement on Tuesday.
The countries, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and Britain, have sanctioned the ministers for repeatedly inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
According to an AL statement, Mr Aboul-Gheit described the ban as “significant” to holding officials in the government of the occupying country accountable for engaging in “an obvious incitement of violence.’’
He said the sanction uncovered the criminal acts of far-right government officials committing war crimes and widespread violations of international humanitarian law in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
The statement noted that the action was an important step toward rebalancing the international stance on war crimes against Palestinians and taking practical measures to hold the perpetrators accountable.
